Hello guys

i just bought a Samsung Pro Plus 128 GB micro SD card, when i insert it to my computer to format it, i have 2 choices, exFAT and NTFS...what should i use?

If you are going to use it on a phone, go with ExFAT. (Or just format it using your phone instead).

Thanks, so exFAT it is

Best to format it in the phone you're going to use it in.

Yah, the S7E is going to do it's own format anyway once you stick it in.

Yup it did exFAT!

Nope. If it's already in exFAT or FAT32, the phone will just recognize it and use it. It'll only try to format new, unformatted cards or cards with unsupported formats, like NTFS.
